Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Nine.
Not long after Lin Yi returned to the south, his house became lively.
Cao Yidao and Guo Zixing are regular guests of Lin Yi's family. As soon as Lin Yi came back, they came over together, looking like a wolfhound with his nose tilted and smelled his prey.
Lin Yi was generous and did not hide his own personal information. He directly took out all the treasures, books, etc. he had found from Hong Kong, and showed them all. The two guys' eyes were shining and drooling.
Especially when I saw the complete picture of the rare golden bottle plum, as a veteran of comic strips, Guo Zixing almost held it and his eyes were shining, and he almost swallowed this set of books. The reason was very simple. This was the first time that Lao Guo had seen such a fine villain book from the Republic of China for so many years.
Maybe he really liked this set of books so much, Lao Guo asked Lin Yi with shamelessness if he could "spent" and was willing to "spend everything" and buy it at a high price. Lin Yi's answer was not to sell it. Although he didn't play comic strips, he liked to collect various varieties of Jin Ping Mei. There was no way, who made him "Jin Ping Mei Guan".
Although Lao Guo felt very disappointed, he was not the kind of shameless person, so he settled on the second best, discussed with Lin Yi, and asked him if he could transfer other Hong Kong "doll books".
Seeing that Lao Guo looked pitiful and Lin Yi did not collect comic strips, he agreed to transfer the four sets of doll books, Jigong Biography, the Biography of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Travels, and the Southern Travels he bought from Hong Kong to him. As for the rare set of Di Qing Romance, Lin Yi was still reluctant to leave it, and he kept it himself. The reason was very simple. First, the appearance was too good, and second, the quantity was too small, and I am afraid that it would not be possible to see it in the future.
Although he did not make those Hong Kong versions of comic strips, Lao Guo was still very happy and immediately slapped his hands like a child.
Looking at his appearance, Lin Yi can understand. Alas, this is how people who love books are, they are a little crazy and crazy.
Compared to Guo Zixing's "reasonableness", Cao Yidao is "shamed". What he was stunned was the sets of Hong Kong versions of Jin Yong's early martial arts novels obtained by Lin Yi. These novels were published in Hong Kong in the 1960s and were almost extinct in Hong Kong, not to mention in the mainland. Each set can be called a "treasure". Cao Yidao actually wanted to swallow it in one bite. Lin Yi also liked these sets very much, and of course he was unwilling to transfer it, so Lao Cao was foolish and pestered Lin Yi, which was very meaningless if you didn't buy it for me. Lin Yi had no choice but to use the most effective move and said to Cao Yidao: "You can sell it to you, and it's 5 million yuan at a time!" Lao Cao rolled his eyes for a long time before replying: "You go and grab it! I think about money and grass, and I'm even more heartless than me!"
In the next few days, Lin Yi sent Lao Cao and Lao Guo away and began to get busy.
Originally, this apartment was rented, but now Lin Yi has money, so he bought it directly. For this reason, he spent about 300,000 yuan in one go. After buying the house, he was finely renovated. The entire living room, bedroom, and study all changed a lot. He pasted wallpaper and put on a fish tank, and made a closet. Although it was not magnificent or luxurious, it could also make people dazzling.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Lin Yi knew that she did this for Haitang. If she came to Nandu one day and she didn't even have a home, that would be too much.
After finishing all this, Lin Yi began to pack up and sort out the things he had bought from Hong Kong.
First, we collected the six sets of Jin Yong's martial arts novels from Hong Kong, totaling 117 books, namely Book Sword, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Divine Eagle, The Heavenly Dragon, and The Deer and The Cauldron in their newly customized bookcases.
Then Lin Yi framed the "Yao Xueying letter" he got from the Hong Kong version of Li Zicheng, installed it in a small square frame, and hung it on the wall with wallpaper posted, immediately improving the taste of the entire study.
As for other messy old books bought in Hong Kong, Lin Yi classified them into categories and collected them all on his bookshelf.
Since then, Lin Yicai has his own home in Nandu.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and December has come.
The weather in Nandu City began to get colder, especially Lin Yi's most passionate life in book hunting became more and more boring as the weather got colder. The reason is that when the weather was colder, few people were willing to set up street stalls. Even the busy Temple of the God of Wealth on Sundays began to become sparse.
Helplessly, Lin Yi was determined to be able to book hunting in his heart, so he called Teacher Huang, asked him to act as a driver, drove his own three million Land Rover to go to the old book market and used bookstores in surrounding counties to enjoy his appetite.
Now Teacher Huang's life is much better than before. With Lin Yi's help and relief, he can not only eat three or five kilograms of beef every day, but also hire a private caregiver for his paralyzed mother. The most important thing is that he has found dignity and goals with Lin Yi.
In the past, for the sake of life, he, a man who had worked as a special forces soldier, had to surrender to the world, be a thug, be a bodyguard, show the place for others, and even set up street stalls in the Temple of Wealth to sell miscellaneous items. But now, he can raise his head and chest, be a real man, and be a real soldier, and all this is given by Lin Yi.
Teacher Huang doesn't like to talk, but he is a kind person. He is even more willing to do anything about Lin Yi.
So when Lin Yi asked him to act as the driver, Teacher Huang had no complaints and was very serious because he felt that this was his job.
Lin Yi took Teacher Huang to drive around to search for books, but gradually, all the places were finished, and Lin Yi began to have a new idea, should he go to big places like Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing?
Go to Panjiayuan in Beijing.
Go to Confucius Temple in Shanghai.
Go to the Confucius Temple in Nanjing.
Think about it, it's all very good.
But before Lin Yi finished his rejoicing, Xu Haoming called and said, "Lin Yi, come to work!"
Lin Yi then remembered that it seemed that he had agreed to the "benefit" given by Boss Xu, which was to work in his newly opened pawn shop, and he could get 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a month. However, it seemed that Boss Xu said that after the New Year, why did he "summon" himself so quickly?
Soon Lin Yi understood that the newly opened pawn shop, Mr. Xu, needed "him", very much. No, to be precise, the "funds" in Lin Yi's hands.
As a businessman, he is playing "fund circulation". Originally, Xu Tianming was not short of this amount of money, but it happened to be the end of the year in two months. Many construction projects he contracted had to pay wages to workers. In addition, major banks in the middle of the year required repayment and redeem accounts, which made Boss Xu, who was worth hundreds of millions, also worried about "small money".
Lin Yi has no business acumen. After making more than 68 million in Hong Kong, 50 million of them were invested by his girlfriend's cheap father Hai Baichuan to invest in the New Century Auction Company, and he took the other 15 million back.
What kind of character is Xu Haoming? He is clear about Lin Yi's background and has the idea of "cash" in Lin Yi's hand. So he called him to tell him if he would like to invest 10 million yuan.
After hearing this suggestion, Lin Yi's mind immediately started to rotate.
Do it or not?
After careful analysis, I took out 10 million and handed it to Xu Haoming to join the pawnshop. It seemed that I had suffered a loss, but in fact I had taken advantage of it.
First, the business of this pawn shop is particularly good, and it can give ordinary employees a monthly salary of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. How bad is the business? Second, this pawn shop is basically invested by Xu Haoming alone and has no intention of introducing foreign capital. Third, although he has invested less, only 10 million yuan, he has secretly become the well-deserved "second shopkeeper" of this pawn shop.
Lin Yi is not a fool, of course he understands that this kind of opportunity must not be lost and never comes again. If he waits for Boss Xu to come with his hands, there will be no chance to invest. People don’t ask you to “borrow money”, but instead use the form of investment and investment, it means that they are clearly trying to get cheaper for you. Moreover, if people ask you to “go to work” immediately, the meaning will be even more obvious. Tell you that you can “invest on the spot” and see if I am fooling you if I do this.
So Lin Yi quickly made a decision to invest 10 million to enter the pawnshop, and as a new employee of the pawnshop, he went to work immediately. To be continued.
